ABOUT

Hey there, I'm Berkay!
a game designer and technical artist with a background in psychology

I design player-centered experiences where psychology meets interactive systems. With a BA in Psychology (Honors) and hands-on game development experience, I approach every project from both the player's mind and the engine's architecture.

Recent work includes WORN, a psychology-driven horror game built solo in 48 hours at Global Game Jam 2026; The Hatman, a cinematic cutscene created from scratch in Unreal Engine 5; and The Catio, a 2D mobile platformer shipped through Google Game Academy.

I work across Unreal Engine 5, Unity/C#, Clip Studio Paint, and the Adobe suite — from game mechanics and level design to character art and cinematic storytelling.

Currently based in Vilnius, studying Multimedia Design at VILNIUS TECH.

Open to opportunities in game design, technical art, and interactive media — let's connect.
